Sketch 3.3.0 | MacOSX | 19 MB
Sketch: graphic design for a digital world. Powerful tools and an elegant interface, in a single award-winning package. Because making beautiful things should be a joy, not a burden. Sketch supports multiple fills, borders and shadows per layer; has powerful non-destructive boolean operations; smart pixel alignment; and makes exporting a breeze with automatic slicing and multiple resolution export.
Vector tools and basic shapes are the foundation; whether you are designing icons, websites, interfaces or anything else. Combine these into complex shapes with non-destructive boolean operations, leaving you free to edit them in the future, then apply advanced layer style options like multiple shadows, fills, gradients, noise, blending, background blurring, and more.
Sketch doesn't just do shapes, of course. Imported images can be rotated, scaled, cropped and masked. The best-in-class text tool lets you add beautiful typography to your designs, using native font rendering, so you can be sure that text always looks 100% accurate!
Brand new to Sketch 3, Symbols allow you to reuse entire groups of content in multiple places in your design. Think of interface elements such as buttons, headers and footers. Change them once, and they update everywhere in your document.
Built for the Mac, Sketch supports OS X’s Versions and Auto Save, letting you focus on your work instead of hitting CMD+S. Keep your work safely in sync across multiple Mac computers with iCloud. And take Sketch full screen to maximise the size of your canvas. All this power is deliciously baked into Sketch’s single-window interface. Everything is there, tucked away until you need it. A simple interface with powerful tools.
NEW IN VERSION 3:
- Symbols, for reusing elements in your design
- Text Styles and Layer Styles, redesigned and unified for a better experience

- Artboards and Slices for exporting multiple images out of a single document
- Automatic export for multiple resolutions at the same time
- Unique Color (with RGB and HSB modes) and Font pickers
- Beautiful native text rendering and text styles
- Vector and pixel zoom; zoom in with infinite vector precision or see individual pixels
- Multi-stop and radial gradients editing right in the canvas. Powerful WYSIWYG rendering
- Shared Layer Styles that automatically update all associated layers
- Shared Text Styles for sharing font and paragraph info between text layers
- Powerful, easy-to-use Vector Tool
- A growing community of designers with fantastic resources available on the web
New Features
- Improves speed and reliability of Sketch Mirror
- You can now connect to Sketch Mirror by entering an IP address (please update your version of Sketch Mirror to 1.3 to view the device’s IP)
- Edit › Scale now gives you a live preview
- Documents now hold their own gradient and color presets as well as the global presets
- Layer dimensions can now be set as a relative value (i.e: you can set a layer’s width to 50% and it will resize to half the size of the artboard or group it is in)
- You can now set independent opacity, blending options, and shadows for Symbols
- Frequently used colors have moved to the Color Preview box and they will now also show you how often they’ve been used and where
Enhancements
- Outlining Strokes has been improved significantly
- ‘Mask with Shape’ enhanced to detect when you probably want to use an Alpha mask
- You can now define how layers will resize when using the inspector: for width, you can add a M (middle) / C (center) or R (right) suffix to indicate which edge of the layer should remain fixed. Similarly for the height you can use M (middle) / C (center) and B (for bottom)
- Text alignment has been made recursive; you can select a group and align all text layers inside easily
- Text layers now have locked proportions after converting to outlines
- ‘Make Grid’ now only optionally fills missing cells with duplicated layers
- Copy-Pasting a style now also transfers a border’s arrow types across
- When two objects snap to each other, the distance between them is now always shown
- Resize handles no longer disappear when a shape is being rotated
- Improved curve smoothing in the Pencil Tool
- Shared Styles now also include the arrow on line ends
- When changing a Symbol instance to a new Symbol type, Sketch is now smarter about preserving excluded text values between the two
- PDF and EPS can once again be exported to multiple resolutions
- When closing the popover in text edit mode, you can now immediately continue typing in the text layer
- The Type menu and Font window now update to reflect the current selection better
- Updates Artboard presets to include the latest iOS and Apple Watch screen sizes
- The option key can now be used to move and resize layers in 0.1px increments, but still allows distance measurements
- You can now customize the arrow nudge distance (used for moving and keyboard-resizing) by using two hidden default keys, `nudgeDistanceSmall` and `nudgeDistanceBig`
- Introduces a new plugin file format
- Improves the naming of new and duplicated layers, styles and shared objects
- To make it easier to spot that you’re editing a Symbol, they now have a purple highlight in the canvas and layer list
- Fill and Border options can now be accessed through the menu (Layer › Style)
- Reorganises and simplifies the View menu to make it easier to find common items
- You will now be notified when a device running Sketch Mirror appears for connection
- Opening a bitmap image in Sketch no longer adds an automatic slice
- The width and height measurements when drawing and resizing shapes are now shown besides the mouse cursor, to make them visible at all times
Bug fixes
- Inserting an image via drag and drop now places it at the correct location in the layer hierarchy
- Fixes a bug where Sketch could crash when creating a Symbol from Shape Paths
- Flattening bitmaps no longer flattens them to 2x resolution by default
- Fixes a bug where shapes with subpaths wouldn’t recalculate their bounds when their boolean ops changed
- Fixes a bug where the tab order in the color inspector was unexpected
- Fixes a bug where flattening bitmaps on a retina screen might have them jump by a pixel
- Layer Alignment has been improved to snap independently of axis
- Fixes a bug where the Edit › Scale sheet would not recognise the most recent input
- Fixes a bug where the line height field wouldn’t accept decimal numbers
- Fixes a bug where a Star’s radius could go beyond 100%
